Modern Slingshot Styles Explained(ish)

[@adv.ventures2494]

Brilliant information! As a beginner I could not get this wealth of information in a single video. To the point without unnecessary noise.

[@Matthew_Dubroq]

Man, what you might have thought was a throw away comment just made a lightbulb go off in my head. I couldn't get a comfortable thumb brace hold because I was trying to pinch with my index finger and not bracing against my knuckle. Immediately went outside and changed the way I felt about holding a sling shot. Another great vid man, keep them coming!!

[@Chef047]

Just found your channel, and I’ve learned more about slingshots in this one video than any other I’ve watched. I thank you for that. Keep up the great videos!!!

[@rafaelluvizotto3405]

Very nice video. Thanks a lot for your tecnical recomendations. Congratulations.

[@rafaelluvizotto3405]

I am sending your videos to the Brazil slingshot group for learning. Thanks.

[@forkshootertb96]

Very good job Chris! I 100% agree that pinch grips are much more comfortable with thicker material. Even though I don't have a clip attachment yet I also believe clips are more consistent and stable attachment. I'm honored you used my shooter for an example. Great explanation video!

[@TheWaterSwatters]

This was a great video, I watched several of your hunting videos then on to this one. I didn't know sling shots were anything other than a child's toy. I've hunted my whole life but haven't even considered seriously hunting with one until I found your videos. I might have to get me one I'm very interested now in seeing for myself what they can do.

[@1975normal]

This is where I’m at now. 48 years old and just now learning about this awesome hunting slingshot (catapult)

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Nice, Chris! Thank you! 👍 I agree, the grip is the key, at least for me. I have all kinds of catapult frames that I have purchased, but I actually prefer the one I made myself. It's not a museum piece mind you, far from it, but it really feels comfortable to grip and shoot. Thanks to all your helpful videos, my shooting skills have greatly improved.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you for your kind words buddy you're very welcome

[@peterdonnelly6804]

I'm yet to buy my 1st slingshot this video has gave me the knowledge to make an informed purchase. Thanks

[@charleswidmore5458]

best catapult video I have watched. awesome! Thank you.

[@Sissling]

Great great video Chris!! I have learned to shoot with my frame in my left hand , my dominant eye is my left. I aim with both eyes open. I have learned to shoot pretty accurate that way. Thank you for your tips allthough . Love your channel ! Cheers , Sis

[@dustinharrison3491]

Even if I didn't like your content, I'd still watch your videos for your accent alone!

[@donze52]

sure like my 75mm bands- for plinking- pocket size goes everywhere- yet could if push come to shove be a tool of last resort- started shooting at 5 years old and I am now 70-

[@robertmcqueen7314]

Been watching your vids since getting back into catty's after 20+ years Got 2 Chinese cheapies to start and was happy with them until a Titan came up and it has changed my accuracy totally think I've found my sweet spot at 85mm frame keep up the good work. Saving for a Titan Hunter 👍

[@danielgreen3715]

You explain the Arcane aspects of Slingshot Shooting very well!

[@henryb8740]

oh and the vid was boss chris very informative and i thought i knew it all until i watched this, thanks.

[@fiskey81]

Love the vids man. Very informative look forward to the next one Chris

[@UK-Blue]

I'm gunna try some different grips. Totally get you, with how the release will be sharper with a band attached by clips rather than being tied on. Good one sir! 👍

[@gabrieleJib]

Nice Cris! I like your very clear and explanatory videos! I can't imagine how many bullets are behind those targets 😂 I can't really think of shooting without a bullet catch behind, steel balls cost a kidney 😂

[@drmarxx]

Hi Chris, I've been following you now for quite a while. You make slingshots. I'm wondering if you can do a video on how to pick a slingshot that fits your hand. I'm not asking for another video on types of grips, but more explaining how you want a slingshot to fit your hand. The points of contact for leverage and against the pull. A flat slingshot vs. one that the handle is offset relative to the forks of the frame. I'm a smaller guy with smaller hands, and I often feel like the palm swell isn't in the right position in my hand affecting my leverage. I have searched all of KZbin and have not found one single video that covers this aspect of slingshot shooting. Thanks and I think you're the man to answer this.

[@madmarshman]

I've never shot with clips before, but I ordered a large ott titan hunter a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to receiving it, so I can start shooting it.

[@Famo59]

Well done Chris on showing and explaining your collection of Slingshots. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓

[@paulmountford7549]

Great video Chris, made my Wednesday night, thanks for posting 👍

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you buddy

[@Slingsshootingandcamping]

Great explanation video chris as always

[@airmojo]

I'm really new to slingshots, and recently bought a SimpleShot Hammer XT that I have been enjoying, and enjoying your videos ! But I would love making one, similar to the "Hacksaw" one that you showed at 14:15 Do you have a video showing this one, and how it was made ? I realize it has to be fairly simple... hard part would be getting the right size knurled screw (and "nut" that it screws into), and of course the right size natural tree fork branch.

[@SamKiddle]

Great info I now understand why I get hand slap on my Evo ergo and not the v2 I thought it was a weight thing but that makes sense what u said 😊

[@Beesa10]

For the natural one towards the end of the video you made the fork cuts level with each other, is that better? Maybe so the OTT flat band has minimal twist? Or does it not really matter? Also, if I use boiled linseed oil on the wood is that ok or could it attack/degrade the latex

[@shnider156]

Excellent video Chris thanks. I use a brace grip on one of your beautiful cattys but sometimes suffer from band slap on the pointing finger nail. Think it's because of the setup being too powerful for ammo and the active band length being just 14.5cm using 0.60 sniper sling latex. I mix it up between 7mm and 8mm steel. Usually with 7mm the setup is far too heavy so get some finger nail slap ouch.

[@k.o.skeeponshooting235]

Awesome video! Well explained and informative thanks Chris 👍

[@RCracingFun]

How did you make the opening to this video? Super cool!!

[@michaelgambit6432]

Have you used those small catapults, Pico i think they're called were the ammo goes over the forks because they don't fit through?

[@slingshottoddly8065]

Pfs of pickle fork slingshot

[@wayout6092]

I love my Gamekeeper Pocket Rockets, any chance you could find the easiest way to convert wrap and tuck catties to clips? And the easiest clips to use? I don't wrap and nowadays finding electrical tape simpler. T love the naturals you make, great stuff.

[@slingshot_fishing]

Good, so complete, to excite my friends, good luck is always intoxicating

[@Eric_Smith2662]

I've been interested in clips for a while now but not only are they expensive, but I live in 1 of the 3 states in the US where slingshots are illegal to buy. So I made my own aluminum core slingshot and I use pieces of flattened pvc pipe as clips and even that works great

[@simontanner]

Very interesting and informative video thanks Chris 👍🏻

[@ch0cchip704]

Thanks for the great video lot's of useful information even after shooting for a while it's good to have a recap just incase some bad habits need correction, always great to see you make frame and shoot it very well 👍

[@DaGoodRandom]

Where can we buy your Slingshots?

[@junk3996]

oh and with self tie-on bands, is there a good way to eliminate hand-slap? maybe tie them as high up on the fork as possible? im still new so want to get used to OTT before attempting TTF styles

[@randycassidy198]

Great video man!

[@CatapultCarnage]

Appreciate it!

[@juans3728]

Very informative, why makers and sellers don't identify the style of slingshot whether a finger thumb brace or pinch grip they are selling.

[@debbiemcghee6617]

I haven't watched the whole video but I have hand problems and liked the RCC General pinch grip but could only find it in the UK. Do you know any US distributors?

[@CatapultCarnage]

No. I'm almost certain it is sold exclusively from proshot. Your on the right track though for a frame suited to hand problems. Pinch grip or hammer grip is my personal recommendation

[@saint3210]

Damn, you make it look so easy…

[@bukidnonbulawanhunter5262]

Like it I learn more about sling shot..

[@johnsantos2360]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@junk3996]

i've been trying to make myself a frame that fits and feels nice and is consistent to hold. i want to try the finger and thumb grip, but it feels like i need a significantly wider frame. how wide is that titan hunter frame that you're showcasing early in the video?

[@fielty3717]

Excellent stuff. Do you have a fault with your camera though? Either that or for the first minute or two of the video, you’ve got an orb hovering around the Brasso tin behind your head. It isn’t a laser because it’s still there when you’re in shot? Mean this in no way to detract from video. I’m in the process of making my first Hazel ‘pult. This was very informative and helpful. I’d just quite like to know about the orb as well. Cheers Chris. Best wishes, Jim.

[@shaneschannel2081]

Hi Mohammed, he's from the North of Ireland; his accent is called a Belfast accent. He's also the best slingshot teacher on YT IMO! Cheers.

[@garymarsh6803]

I’m just starting out and need help with choosing a cat bands to use etc; I brought on of eBay I don’t like it it’s uncomfortable in the hand and the bands have no power

[@VernonPerez]

i noticed that you don't use tubes only flats, why?

[@CatapultCarnage]

Tubes are crap

[@shaneschannel2081]

Are you aloud to use slingshot on beach if no one’s there what’s the law uk please
